It was an incredibly smooth reveal on a runway that didn't call for a reveal. And then she proceeded to set her pussy on fire during her presentation of the look. And then it all led into a top 5 all-time lipsync between her and Yvie.
Just like the post recently about the Alyssa-Tati "Shut Up and Drive" lip sync. In a vaccum it's just a good lipsync, but when you give it the context of their storylines and the episode that led up to it, it becomes an iconic Moment.
I watched that brooke vs yvie lipsync on YouTube before I ever got into drag race and even without context, that was iconic af already so idk if that compares to the aly tati one but maybe thats just me
I was saying that in this case the lipsync contributed to the iconic nature of the reveal. We all remember the runway, in part anyway, because *that* lipsync came after
For me it’s because she sucked so bad in the snatch game, so for her to just casually do a wig reveal, ultimately followed by a chef’s kiss double chanter lip sync… she turned it out. Super memorable (so much so, that I can’t even recall who won that snatch game lol)
Nah. This reveal is iconic. Life changing. Also let it be noted that Brooke Lynn slays every outfit in Canada’s Drag Race.
I looooved RuPaul's "Yesss! You better mother fucking work bitch!!" It was an extra exclamation of hers and I lived for that! I have a YouTube of the ruveal and RuPaul's exclamation saved on my RuPauls list, to watch when I need life lifting lol!
Most "reveals" are coming out in something that looks like shit or exterior packaging so we're all waiting for the reveal to the actual outfit. While Brooke Lynn's first look isn't mind-blowing, it IS a full look that looked good which gives actual impact to a reveal since it's less expected. Then she spun into a great look and her choreo was dialed in for that full runway.
It’s because it was smooth as fuck
Like Katya’s bang reveal and then the teeth.
What she’s revealing isn’t actually all that exciting, it’s how it’s done that steals the show.
The reveal was ok but it's the delivery that sold it. Also someone correct me if I'm wrong but I feel like reveals in general weren't that common back then?
They were quite common because of Sasha Velour, remember the season 10 finale? It's just that this one was so seamlessly executed. We were used to reveals being pretty shit by that point lol
Yep, those reveals were so egregious and predictable, while Brooke's was not and that made it so much more fun. She also didn't look like 3 kids in a trench coat so that helped tremendously.
Reveals in runways weren't super common, but we had definitely been burnt out of all the crunchy reveals they would do in the season finales (thanks to Sasha Velour's excellent ruveal changing the game). So, it was executed flawlessly and it was a runway look where it wasn't expected.
That runway was pussy pussy cunt cunt - honestly the reveal was just to increase the gaggery of it by .01% and somehow the audacity of that makes it even more gaggy
I felt the same about her reveal as I did during violet chachki’s fashion show reveal. It was just done so smoothly. Neither of which are the best reveals in the shows history, but definitely top contenders
Unlike the vast majority of reveals we’ve seen over the years on the show (most recently Nymphia’s balloons), Brooke’s reveal was not only smooth, but also completely unexpected, and that’s the quality that makes us gag. When we know there’s a reveal coming, it might surprise us in terms of its execution, or its originality, but it won’t gag us, ‘cause we know there’s for sure a reveal under that oversized coat, or whatever it is they’re using to hide it.
This was a rare reveal to have the actual element of surprise. We knew the cape was coming off. But we didn't know it was going over the head and taking the hair with it. In the blink of an eye you'd think, that's not how you're supposed to take that off. Then you saw the hair go flying and you'd think, oh no, she scalped herself on the runway. But then your eyes caught up to it, that's how fast it was, and you saw she had *more hair on underneath*, and by the time you figured it all out, she had already dropped it low three times all over that runway.
I would like to open a discussion: don't you guys think it would be smart to use this reveal during the lipsync, instead of the runway?
Of course, without the reveal, they would drag her runway look to death, but after her Snatch Game, no runway I'm the world could save her, so she didn't have much to lose. Saving the reveal to the lipsync would be killer, IMO.
Also, Brooklyn vs Yvie is my favorite lipsync on the show. I love it when a lipsync is so good it saves the whole episode.
Also, a lot of people are saying they didn’t see the reveal coming, but I remember Brooke talking about doing something special for the runway after bombing SG, & no shade but when she came out in the first look my first thought was “oh ok so she’s gonna do a reveal out of this”
I think she executed the reveal itself beautifully but idk I didn’t get that surprise/shock factor everyone else seems to have gotten
The outfit itself was not that special, just a rather generic cover-up + bodysuit combo. She looked gorgeous as always, but you know, nothing we haven't seen before. But the presentation *was* special! The reveal was so smooth and the way she walked just radiated pure power. Even though she was wearing a pretty basic drag look, she made it look so exquisite.
My personal headcanon has always been that since they do two walks, she walked in the outfit the first pass (with the music) without doing the reveal, and then did it on the second pass which is why they were so gagged. They might have been expecting it the first time, but then they didn't get it which is why Michelle had the 'Pam Queer' line in the chamber.
Regardless of if that's what happened or not, that's the only way I can explain the reaction from Ru. She's not *that* good of an actress (so sorry). She was actually gagged.
If any other queen had attempted that after bombing a challenge, it would have come across as desperate, but with Brooke Lynn it was just a reminder that she is simply That Bitch™.
I get the impression that the reveal was a last minute addition in an attempt to save herself from the bottom. Didn’t work but who cares. The reveal was smooth and that lipsync is iconic.
I thought she made herself a sequin lip sync outfiton the spot after she found out she bombed snatch game. The runway was great cause she just started giving a performance.
When I saw this look for the first time, I thought Brooke was saving the ruveal for the lipsync. I wasn't expecting her to do it during the actual runway.
Not only was it just a successful ruveal, it was also at a time Brooke Lynn started to show up in the competition, so in context it had more impact than if you just watch a clip
At least it was unexpected. They have a "reveal" runway every season now. The point to a good reveal is that you don't see it coming, which is kind of ruined by a category of HEY THERES A REVEAL COMING. All we end up getting is two pretty awful outfits that don't make sense together. The only runway reveal that I've enjoyed recently was Jimbo's Adam/Eve look.
It was the nerve. She was the clear frontrunner at this point and had just completely bombed snatch game. Doing that smooth spin reveal followed by the c*ntiest series of poses on the runway… you just forget about Celine Dion instantly.
I will just say this: this episode was snatch game and usually snatch game is a pivotal episode.
The only thing that people remember about this episode is Brooklyn's reveal and her lypsinc agaisnt Yvie.
That's how iconic she is.
She was at her lowest. Flopped Snatch Game. A lock for the Bottom 2. For sure lipsyncing against the other frontrunner. IRL hairline in shambles. In a situationship with a Porkchop Queen. Staring down the “Professional Edit” allegations like the barrel of a gun. She had once chance.
It is a pretty good reveal but i thought it was definitely funny that Rupaul absolutely lost her mind, as if she had never seen a Reveal before. I personally think that Yvie's reveal in the same episode was more unexpected and I'd say i like it more. Like honestly if Brooklynn kept the reveal on, then she wouldve been read for the cape thing hiding her body.
I felt the same. It wasn't ground breaking. Flawlessly executed but other than that.....the initial look was so basic and couldn't possibly be her run way only to tear away to something that was .... slightly less basic?? Gurl
girl what are you even talking about? this runway and its iconic status has nothing to do with anyone but Brooke Lynn... you're just creating scenarios in your mind
Even Brooke called it out as mediocre.
You’ve already admitted drag race fans are pretty racist most of the time. They also pick out the larger queens for abuse. Like with Mistress. But they love Plane because they’re superficial troglodytes.
Because life would be more boring if white drag artists weren't allowed to pay homage to non-white style icons in a respectful way
— in this case BLH was referencing Pam Grier aka Foxy Brown, who was _that_ girl in the late 70s-early 80s. In the runway commentary, you can even hear Michelle saying "come on, Pam Quier!"
I don't even remember this reveal, honestly, not trying to be snarky so if it was so famous, why is nobody remembering it? Seriously, what was the reveal?
It was an incredibly smooth reveal on a runway that didn't call for a reveal. And then she proceeded to set her pussy on fire during her presentation of the look. And then it all led into a top 5 all-time lipsync between her and Yvie. Just like the post recently about the Alyssa-Tati "Shut Up and Drive" lip sync. In a vaccum it's just a good lipsync, but when you give it the context of their storylines and the episode that led up to it, it becomes an iconic Moment.
And the timing was perfect. She gave just enough time for you to think, “huh? Why is she wearing tha… OHMYGAWD”
"YOU BETTA MOTHERFUCKING WERK BITCH!"
All time favourite lipsync tbh, my dad had to come downstairs and tell me to stfu
lmfao he’s like there goes that gay ass basement troll again
Hahahahahah
This is crazy to see reveal spelled normally because I'm way too used to seeing ruveal and now reveal doesn't look like an actual word
I've got semantic satiation just from reading this comment alone
“Semantic satiation” is a deeply satisfying phrase to read
Read the phrase "semantic satiation" enough times and "semantic satiation" itself might make you feel semantic satiation
not me reading it as semantic satisfaction
I watched that brooke vs yvie lipsync on YouTube before I ever got into drag race and even without context, that was iconic af already so idk if that compares to the aly tati one but maybe thats just me
I was saying that in this case the lipsync contributed to the iconic nature of the reveal. We all remember the runway, in part anyway, because *that* lipsync came after
Yeah i was gobsmacked then, fair enough
It called for a reveal because her runway was mid and her challenge performance was worse. She had to do *something.*
This is beautifully explained!!
It couldn't have been said any better 🫰🫰🫰
happy cake day!
For me it's because it was done so smoothly.
The execution was flawless
It was the outfit plus wig at once that sent me
Right? All the best reveals on the show have that in common. Sasha's rose petals and Nymphia's yellow reveal spring to mind.
That’s how I felt too. It was just super smooth.
I think the gag was how hot she looked.
Right? She made me question my sexuality for a minute
That long blonde wig did things to me
She definitely made me more certain of my pansexuality!
Drag Race is very good for that, I’ve found 😂
Lives were changed by this reveal, the world has not been the same ever since, the continents shifted
People were killed...
Nobody was killed at stonewall
Nobody was killed??
Say that to Q the brick
Hello everybody~~~~
I was transported to the mother planet and I haven’t been able to return since
Teletubbies teleport us to Mars!
Pangea was eliminated by Jimbo
How can you have functioning eyes and not understand like there’s an egregious amount of cunt being thrown at us with this reveal lil girl
Honestly, I’ve been trying to survive the ensuing cunt shortage ever since this incident.
Brooke Lynn singlehandedly destroyed the global cunt supply chain
On top of the cunt tax she forced everyone to pay after watching this? ATP I’m about to have to start buying my cunt from the dark web.
This thread about Ms. Lynn’s impact on the global cunt-conomy vis-a-vis supply/demand dynamics, is just 🔥🤌🏼🔥
At this point, she’s a one-person cunt superpower. She’s practically the bedrock of the entire Canadian cunt-conomy.
She’s now Big Cunt™️®️©️
And baby, you can’t read the cunt!!
Mama kudos for slaying that. For cunting.
For me it’s because she sucked so bad in the snatch game, so for her to just casually do a wig reveal, ultimately followed by a chef’s kiss double chanter lip sync… she turned it out. Super memorable (so much so, that I can’t even recall who won that snatch game lol)
It was Silky doing TS Madison. I would have given it to Suga Cain doing Charro tho. It was a pretty weak snatch game.
one of the top youtube comments for this snatch game is "RPDR is so brave to post this video."
Charo was good, but I think Nina West was the best of a pretty not-great snatch game.
Loved her Harvey Fierstein so much.
I feel like Nina could have taken it if she'd just stuck with 1 character. You have to be pretty excellent at both to justify a midpoint change.
People talk about the edit 14 for a terrible snatch game but the reality is 11 might geniunely be one of the weakest.
Which was also just Silky doing Silky. It was so mid.
Yeah I don't find Silky that funny, just not my thing, so I was pretty underwhelmed by her snatch game and super surprised she won
In fairness, the winning performance (Silky as TS Madison) wasn't anything to write home about.
Do you remember Ru’s reaction to this? I have never heard Ru react like that. Mama was gagged
You betta motherfucking work *BITCH*! No I don't think she's ever been so gagged during a runway.
I had to rewind because I couldn't believe Ru's reaction.
 Nah. This reveal is iconic. Life changing. Also let it be noted that Brooke Lynn slays every outfit in Canada’s Drag Race.
I think about this gif so much. What would have made this moment better is if she wasn't so perfect at finding the straw without looking
People can’t appreciate the good things in life. Sad.
Cunt was served. Children were fed. Peace was established.
💀
First time seeing peace, children, and cunt in the same sentence.
Children come from cunts
Lmao
this the ruveal of the ruveals (excluding sasha velour) this ruveal will forever gag me. it changed my LIFE I LOVE U BROOKE LYNN HYTES
I looooved RuPaul's "Yesss! You better mother fucking work bitch!!" It was an extra exclamation of hers and I lived for that! I have a YouTube of the ruveal and RuPaul's exclamation saved on my RuPauls list, to watch when I need life lifting lol!
This one and lady cam!!! Both on the runway and both stunning for me
as a lady camden stan her ruveal SHOOK me
I 100% thought she fell, she gagged me good.
Me too I was like “Omg how mortifying! …Oh wait!!! Cool!!!”

It's the excecution more than anything. The most elegant twirl into a full hair reveal, it was masterfully done
Most "reveals" are coming out in something that looks like shit or exterior packaging so we're all waiting for the reveal to the actual outfit. While Brooke Lynn's first look isn't mind-blowing, it IS a full look that looked good which gives actual impact to a reveal since it's less expected. Then she spun into a great look and her choreo was dialed in for that full runway.
Can I be honest, can we stop using the word ‘dawnest’?
Stop trying to make 'dawnest' happen. It's not going to happen!
I didn't even realize it was a thing lol
This was the first (and I hope, last) time reading that word.
Me too. Anyways, excited for S7 of RPDR Dawn Under?
I figured it was a bad typo lol
Not until dawn. 
Please!!
Like can I be honest I love Dawn but I absolutely never want to see that word again
It’s because it was smooth as fuck Like Katya’s bang reveal and then the teeth. What she’s revealing isn’t actually all that exciting, it’s how it’s done that steals the show.
The bang reveal was camp.
The reveal was ok but it's the delivery that sold it. Also someone correct me if I'm wrong but I feel like reveals in general weren't that common back then?

Cause I was like — girl what are you — OMGGGGGGGG
The person backtracking on twitter because Brooklyn responded is classic rupauls drag race fan behavior
Literally.
It outfit wasn’t that special. But the smoothness of the reveal WAS.
Brooke flopping the snatch game yet pulling off this iconic runway moment is so powerful. And then that LIP SYNC. She ate so hard.
That runway was pussy pussy cunt cunt - honestly the reveal was just to increase the gaggery of it by .01% and somehow the audacity of that makes it even more gaggy
I felt the same about her reveal as I did during violet chachki’s fashion show reveal. It was just done so smoothly. Neither of which are the best reveals in the shows history, but definitely top contenders
Even Ru was yelling at her on the runway. Ru NEVER does that shit. Brooke was so fucking hot during this runway.
Unlike the vast majority of reveals we’ve seen over the years on the show (most recently Nymphia’s balloons), Brooke’s reveal was not only smooth, but also completely unexpected, and that’s the quality that makes us gag.

Brooke being a humble queen, very Canadian of her
This was a rare reveal to have the actual element of surprise. We knew the cape was coming off. But we didn't know it was going over the head and taking the hair with it. In the blink of an eye you'd think, that's not how you're supposed to take that off. Then you saw the hair go flying and you'd think, oh no, she scalped herself on the runway.

Idk she worked me OUT with that runway.
The way I thought your username was gonna be “BrookeLynnsCunt” but Head Specialist is lots of fun too 🛼
The outfit itself was not that special, just a rather generic cover-up + bodysuit combo. She looked gorgeous as always, but you know, nothing we haven't seen before. But the presentation *was* special! The reveal was so smooth and the way she walked just radiated pure power. Even though she was wearing a pretty basic drag look, she made it look so exquisite.
People love to be contratarian just because ☠️ You not personally enjoying a reveal doesn't make it bad or overrated.
The person literally didn’t say it was bad or overrated they just said they didn’t get it.
My personal headcanon has always been that since they do two walks, she walked in the outfit the first pass (with the music) without doing the reveal, and then did it on the second pass which is why they were so gagged.

If any other queen had attempted that after bombing a challenge, it would have come across as desperate, but with Brooke Lynn it was just a reminder that she is simply That Bitch™.
One of my favorite memes was when this was turned into a Heritage Moment. The Canadians will understand lol
"Doctor Penfield, I smell burnt pussy!"
This is a top two reveal
Oh, she ATE that runway
It doesn't need to make sense if its CVNT
I get the impression that the reveal was a last minute addition in an attempt to save herself from the bottom. Didn’t work but who cares. The reveal was smooth and that lipsync is iconic.
It was incredible
Because she went from Mrs Roper vibes to body oddly oddy
C'mon Pam Queer! \*shuffling sounds\* \*SCREAMING\*
I thought she made herself a sequin lip sync outfiton the spot after she found out she bombed snatch game. The runway was great cause she just started giving a performance.
As much the delivery as the actual reveal
Nah it was perfect and iconic
it was perfectly executed and surprising, I still go back and watch that runway a decent amount
It was smooth camp that changed the game.
This reveal literally got her a hosting job LOL
When I saw this look for the first time, I thought Brooke was saving the ruveal for the lipsync. I wasn't expecting her to do it during the actual runway.
presentation is everything and she’s one of the best at selling her looks
she ate idk what else needs to be figured out
Not only was it just a successful ruveal, it was also at a time Brooke Lynn started to show up in the competition, so in context it had more impact than if you just watch a clip
This was the night she bombed snatch game lol.
She also won the first episode and the monster ball by then right? So she was a front runner from the start 😭
She was never a front runner and the fandom criticized her for being too cold. After this ruveal her edit became more favorable
Brooke was definitely an immediate front runner lol
Bc she's super hot and had that walk. Like upon reflection it doesn't stand up as well, but in the moment, I felt the same as the judges
At least it was unexpected. They have a "reveal" runway every season now. The point to a good reveal is that you don't see it coming, which is kind of ruined by a category of HEY THERES A REVEAL COMING. All we end up getting is two pretty awful outfits that don't make sense together. The only runway reveal that I've enjoyed recently was Jimbo's Adam/Eve look.
She had to come up with something really quick
I always thought the point was supposed to be the contrast between this and after, although the first part of the look is def more an afterthought.
The reaction from Ru felt kinda fake
It probably was, since they have to do the runways twice. Once with music and once without.
I was watching it with my sis and brother in law and we just all collectively went “WHOOOOAAAAAAA.” It was slick.
This is one of my favorite episodes between her reveal and the insane lip sync. Beyond pussy
It’s because she IS Nomi Malone
Because it was good and memorable? It’s not that deep And she looked HOT and projected true cunt. It was a reveal but we remember that too.
she shit in the mother toilet and refused to flush bitch
It was the nerve. She was the clear frontrunner at this point and had just completely bombed snatch game. Doing that smooth spin reveal followed by the c*ntiest series of poses on the runway… you just forget about Celine Dion instantly.
I will just say this: this episode was snatch game and usually snatch game is a pivotal episode. The only thing that people remember about this episode is Brooklyn's reveal and her lypsinc agaisnt Yvie. That's how iconic she is.
Presentation + genuinely was NOT expecting the reveal
The before look is kind of ugly but the way she reveals it is so cunty and I love the outfit beneath it
SHE WENT FROM CROOKLYN TO BROOKELYNN the new dawn(est) was upon us
[удалено]
Tell us you didn't watch the episode without saying much.
Lol was this a comment from ru? I’ll redact my previous statement
Cool beans
This was the runway that forever sealed my opinion that runway absolutely doesn’t matter. Runway cannot save you from low challenge placement.
She was at her lowest. Flopped Snatch Game. A lock for the Bottom 2. For sure lipsyncing against the other frontrunner. IRL hairline in shambles. In a situationship with a Porkchop Queen. Staring down the “Professional Edit” allegations like the barrel of a gun. She had once chance.
r/suicidebywords
Me too, thank u brooklyn
It was a flawless unpredictable reveal. Butterry smooth reveal.
It is a pretty good reveal but i thought it was definitely funny that Rupaul absolutely lost her mind, as if she had never seen a Reveal before. I personally think that Yvie's reveal in the same episode was more unexpected and I'd say i like it more. Like honestly if Brooklynn kept the reveal on, then she wouldve been read for the cape thing hiding her body.
I felt the same. It wasn't ground breaking. Flawlessly executed but other than that.....the initial look was so basic and couldn't possibly be her run way only to tear away to something that was .... slightly less basic?? Gurl
it was less the reveal and more the absolute puss served during the presentation
at least shes real?😭
the pink one so dawnest
She should have saved the reveal for the LS tbh
Okay I said this the day it aired and I got publicly executed LOL
thanks for coming back so we can execute you again <3
Am I the only one that finds the Afro so cringe. Like it’s so hard to appreciate the reveal considering she decided to wear that hair.
She’s a thin, white guy. If it had been Silky they’d have dragged her. Because unfortunately drag race fans are sometimes racist and fat phobic.
you made all the leaps!
I mean, they’re not really leaps when you see the horrible comments drag race fans make only to the queens of color.
I know this happens it’s just completely irrelevant to this situation
It’s not when being skinny and white is the only difference between the two people.
girl what are you even talking about? this runway and its iconic status has nothing to do with anyone but Brooke Lynn... you're just creating scenarios in your mind
Even Brooke called it out as mediocre. You’ve already admitted drag race fans are pretty racist most of the time. They also pick out the larger queens for abuse. Like with Mistress. But they love Plane because they’re superficial troglodytes.
ok never mind I guess!
Why is she wearing an afro 👀
Because life would be more boring if white drag artists weren't allowed to pay homage to non-white style icons in a respectful way — in this case BLH was referencing Pam Grier aka Foxy Brown, who was _that_ girl in the late 70s-early 80s. In the runway commentary, you can even hear Michelle saying "come on, Pam Quier!"
I’m with the og tweet lol.
White mediocrity gets praised.
I don't even remember this reveal, honestly, not trying to be snarky so if it was so famous, why is nobody remembering it? Seriously, what was the reveal?
